Script[]
From the developer known for their open-world RPGs (Obsidian Entertainment), and the publisher known for their enormous bugs (Bethesda Softworks), comes an open-world RPG in which you fight a whole lot of enormous bugs, before you even finish building your character.
Doc Mitchell: (walking while still in a "sitting" position) Ooh, looking good so far.
Fallout: New Vegas
Enter a world plagued by too much A.I., where guns are easier to find than clean water, and the local law enforcement have become an authoritarian nightmare cult... but hey, at least we get to play Fallout! Then get ready to fall head over heels, for the most beloved game of the Fallout series, featuring a wide variety of interesting NPCs and quests, factions that will have you saying, "Besides the crucifixions, they're not really that bad.", a killer soundtrack with all your grandpa's favorite bops, some of the best game writing of all time...
Fantastic: --to get into a vault full of naked women. Man, how cool would that be?
...and combat that's... Well, it's kind of... Hey, how about the writing? Isn't that writing great, folks?
Do fetch quests for a living as the Courier, the most unlucky mailman since Cliff Clavin...
Alex Trebek (Cheers): 22,000 big ones. Takes you down to zero.
...who gets shot in the face by another dated TV reference, and left for dead in the desert, setting them on a single-minded quest for vengeance, until they get distracted scouring the wasteland for sexbots.
Fisto: Fisto reporting for duty. Please assume the position.
Then, choose a side in a morally gray universe with no "right" way to act, as long as you ignore the Karma system that lets you know if you're being a good little boy at all times, because apparently, stealing from the people who were just shooting you in the face is a big no-no for Wasteland Santa Claus. Now, give me the four bottle caps this NCR dork is keeping in his locker! Papa's gotta feel alive!
Waste a ton of bullets in every fight, as the game randomly decides whether or not you were aiming good this time, until you give up and go to your V.A.T.S., where you can watch yourself miss some more, but in excruciating slow-mo. Or, you can avoid guns altogether, by grabbing every kooky melee weapon you can find, only to discover that your final battle is definitely meant to be more of a distance fight. Seriously?! This guy's going to drop the best melee weapon in the game, and I can't even use it?! Where's my "New Vegas Game+"?!
Narrator: Because war... war never changes.
Battle through mutants, packs of deathclaws, and the greatest challenge in the game: picking up a single cigarette. Hey, leaving it behind would be like throwing caps right in the trash! Then, heal your wounds the old-fashioned way, after each frustrating battle: by chugging root beer and taking a little nap. Might seem a little quaint, but your other option for triage is to drink from an irradiated toilet. Then, once you're ready to get back to the story, stockpile a cartel's bounty of pills, booooze, and inhalers, before waltzing into Vegas like Hunter S. Thompson in a slightly less silly hat. Then, completely forget why you came here in the first place, as you become addicted to the best fictional minigame of all time: blackjack.
Sammy Paradise (Netflix Presents: The Characters): NOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm ruined!
So walk the walk, or talk the talk -- if you've got the skill points for it, that is -- as you painstakingly level up your various abilities, all in the hopes you'll meet the basic requirements for whatever side-quest you're on, so you don't have to problem-solve with the default setting: violence, because we all know how that usually goes. Or, you can just put all those sweet new skill points in lockpicking, because you're a hoarder who can't stand leaving a safe unopened. And sure, you broke a dozen lockpicks and had to kill a soccer team's worth of guys, but that sarsaparilla sure was worth it, pardner. Now, get out of my way; got more stuff to steal!
Starring: Courier New (The Courier); The One Where Chandler Gets Fu!ked to Death (Matthew Perry as Benny); Hi, Robot (William Sadler as Victor); ChatGPT (Dave Foley as Yes Man); Smart House (René Auberjonois as Mr. House); Caesar Salad (John Doman as Caesar); Thnks fr th Mmrs (Michael Hogan as Doc Mitchell); Rock-a-Doodle Dude (James Horan as The King); Rocketman (Graham Cuthbertson as Jason Bright); A Roomba with a Gun (ED-E); and So Many Perverts.
Fantastic: Got the whole NCR suckling my teats, and it feels so good.
Fallout and Loathing in New Vegas
Before Genshin Impact, this was the game that got 15-year-olds addicted to gambling. Come on, just one more hand of Caravan! I think I'm finally starting to understand the rules!
